Error: Unsupported operation: InternetAddress.lookup Flutter Web


I'm getting internet status in my flutter web app, by implementing the following code in my service:

```import 'dart:async';
import 'dart:io';


import 'package:connectivity_plus/connectivity_plus.dart';
import 'package:rxdart/rxdart.dart';

enum ConnectionStatus {
  online,
  offline,
}

class CheckInternetConnection {
  final Connectivity _connectivity = Connectivity();

  /// We assume the initial status is Online
  final _controller = BehaviorSubject.seeded(ConnectionStatus.online);
  StreamSubscription? _connectionSubscription;

  CheckInternetConnection() {
    _checkInternetConnection();
  }

  Stream<ConnectionStatus> internetStatus() {
    _connectionSubscription ??= _connectivity.onConnectivityChanged
        .listen((_) => _checkInternetConnection());
    return _controller.stream;
  }

  Future<void> _checkInternetConnection() async {
    try {
      // Sometimes the callback is called when we reconnect to wifi,
      // but the internet is not really functional
      // This delay try to wait until we are really connected to internet
      final result = await InternetAddress.lookup('www.google.com');
      if (result.isNotEmpty && result[0].rawAddress.isNotEmpty) {
        _controller.sink.add(ConnectionStatus.online);
      } else {
        _controller.sink.add(ConnectionStatus.offline);
      }
    } on SocketException catch (_) {
      _controller.sink.add(ConnectionStatus.offline);
    }
  }

  Future<void> close() async {
    await _connectionSubscription?.cancel();
    await _controller.close();
  }
}

but I get the following error:

'''Error: Unsupported operation: InternetAddress.lookup
    at Object.throw_ [as throw] (http://localhost:50773/dart_sdk.js:5080:11)
    at InternetAddress.lookup (http://localhost:50773/dart_sdk.js:59860:17)

at [_checkInternetConnection] (http://localhost:50773/packages/flutter_web/src/core/services/internet_conection_service.dart.lib.js:84:20)'''```

I already tried changing dart:io to universal:io but I get the following error:

'''Error: UnimplementedError
    at Object.throw_ [as throw] (http://localhost:50773/dart_sdk.js:5080:11)

    at _checkInternetConnection.next (<anonymous>)
    at runBody (http://localhost:50773/dart_sdk.js:40660:34)'''

could you help me with some options to be able to solve it in flutter web, since in mobile I have no problem. Thank you.


Solution

  • I was also facing this issue because I was using following method to check internet connection:

     Future<bool> hasNetwork() async {
    try {
      final result = await InternetAddress.lookup('example.com');
      return result.isNotEmpty && result[0].rawAddress.isNotEmpty;
    } on SocketException catch (_) {
      return false;
    }}
    

    Then I changed this method to:

     Future<bool> hasNetwork() async {
      try {
        final result = await http.get(Uri.parse('www.google.com'));
        if(result.statusCode==200){
          return true;
        }
      else{
          return false;
      }
      }
       on SocketException catch (_) {
        return false;
      }
    }
    

    and it solved my issue.
